Revised test cases for control of Nord2000-road

Summary and conclusions

The present report contains a number of test cases calculated by the revised Nordic road traffic noise calculation method Nord2000. The purpose of the test cases is to provide a basis for testing software developed according to the new Nordic model. The test cases are divided into four groups:

1)     The group “Straight Road” contains 62 cases for a straight road with only one lane carrying traffic and includes results of LAeq,24h, LAE and LAmax.

2)     The group “Curved Road” contains 8 calculation points distributed along a road with two lanes and a turn, looking more like a “real” case. The group includes results of LAeq,24h and LAmax with three wind conditions.

3)     The group “City Street” contains 4 calculation points in a city street environment and includes results of LAeq,24h with zero wind.

4)     The group “Yearly Average” contains 4 cases where the yearly average of Lden has been calculated.

The test results have been collected in one Excel spreadsheet for each group.
